[Lilia] Rosas also shared that one of the best things about working at Resistencia is watching people exploring the shelves. If you want help finding a book, the very knowledgeable staff is there for you. If you want to peruse by yourself, the store is all yours. Visiting Resistencia is a must for book lovers, and almost an obligation for those bothered by social injustice. Rosas extended a personal invitation.
“There’s something that I like to say when people enter the store, something like a paraphrase of what Raúl used to say: ‘For those of you who have been here before, we’re glad you’re back. For those of you who have not been here before, we’ve been waiting for you: this is your home.’”

Adjunct loses courses after going public about threats she received | Inside Higher Ed (via curate) (via so-treu)
“that adjunct faculty member of Color you loved so much (or didnt or who you knew abt but never took a class w/but who you saw b/c they were one of the only faculty members of Color), they are disposable and NO protections for many esp. at private schools.” — lati-negros
“and i speak from experience. adjuncts do the same work to build and teach courses, sometimes more, than full faculty members. many of us who are of Color, have disabilities, working class or any other form of “difference” have MORE work b/c students have various needs, connects, requests, support that they see we may be able to offer/gift/share/refer but the older, whiter, wealthier, able-bodied, cis, etc. may not even be an option b/c of issues of safety, comfort, power-over, etc.” — latinegrasexologist
“as an adjunct who got dumped by [unnnamed ivy league institution] I can tell you exactly how poorly we can be treated and booted… for not doing anything wrong at all. I can’t even name the institution because I don’t want to get blacklisted from adjuncting again. Yes, there’s that as well. Hell, even professors of color at PWI are in danger. Ask my mother… who is a PhD… and got dumped by [insert well known PWI here] because they didn’t want to give her tenure when she asked for and qualified for it.” — str8nochaser

“The spokeswoman [for Texas A&M-San Antonio] did not indicate why Bradford would have received class assignments and then have them removed. But she said that “adjunct faculty members are all appointed on a semester-by-semester basis as needed by the university. This is a common practice. There is no expectation of continued employment.” — Adjunct loses courses after going public about threats she received | Inside Higher Ed
“Why do they think ‘fat dyke’ is an insult? To me, it means… I’m gonna eat fried chicken and pussy. That’s why I brought wet naps.” — Margaret Cho (via rufflebutts)
